Please see supporting covering letter which sets out amendments required in order for the plan to be made sound.

This cover letter sets out that Trakbak Racing LTD agree with the council’s assessment that the following six sites, 1002, 529, 531, 527, 519 and 532, are not suitable for a housing allocation. Trakbak Racing LTD object to the allocation of these six sites because their allocation would be contrary to paragraph 35 of the NPPF which explains that in order for local plans to be found sound, they must be in accordance with policies of the NPPF.

This would represent a positive response to the issue of housing around SPR and would ensure that paragraph 187 (‘agent of change’) of the NPPF is complied with, and therefore ensure the soundness of the emerging Bedford Local Plan 2040.
